Game Debuts

Fates Forever – (Freemium)

Let's play a bit of catch-up today, shall we? The ASU was on break for a few days at the beginning of this month as I was away being a camp counselor (it was for the kids!), and one major release that went live in the App Store in that time frame was Fates Forever – the incredibly ambitious iPad-exclusive MOBA. It got some well deserved love from others on the IGN staff, but hasn't appeared in the ASU itself yet. We're fixing that now! Take a look at it in action:

Kritika: Chaos Unleashed – (Freemium)

More hacking, slashing and spinning around in circles with a sword than you can ever hope to handle:

This point-and-click adventure has made the rounds on other platforms before, and now it's finally landed in the App Store. And, uniquely, it's not broken up into separate episodes like most of the others in this same genre.

Updates

Iron Force – (Freemium)

Finally, Chillingo's tank commanding game Iron Force has just had Version 1.6.1 go live, which adds the new Fallen City map to the warfare experience.

That’s it for today! Email subscriptions to the App Store Update are still just one sign-up away, right here:
